Visual Art Images from the Field: The Little Whiting Tennises I Referred to Earlier
Posted by Jen Graves on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 1:32 PM
This shelf collection of miniatures is called Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda (click to enlarge).
This is a model for a house for a foot.
Here's a nice look at his work by the Brooklyn Rail last year.

I really hate to knock an artist BUT this collection is mediocre, me thinks, IMHO (Very humble).
The ideas are not interesting, and the execution is clumsy to say the least.
Perhaps the quality just doesn't come through in photos - they are sculptures after all. So I happily extend the benefit of the doubt.

I think Whiting aims for a primitive vibe, in his music and his current work.
Bummer that the dude's in New York and can't even use this to collect a free beer.

@1, Don't judge him by these two images (nor by the one at the link), he's really quite brilliant -- just not well represented here by Jen.
